← The Unravelling City · Ch.3
Text Version A written companion to this chapter — for accessibility, screen readers, and search.

In the wake of the Void-leaks, Elara and Kaelen struggle to awaken the drained citizens of Starlight Avenue. Elara discovers that the only way to restore their strength is to weave a collective memory, forcing her to confront the city's hidden grief.

Page 1

A blue-skinned woman in a long, translucent white gown stands among bodies scattered across a city street, with a fountain and lion statues behind her and a floating castle overhead. The woman thinks: “Sono così immobili... come se avessero appena dimenticato come si fa a respirare.”

Page 2

A white-haired man in black kneels beside a dark-haired person lying on the ground. The man says, “L’energia non è svanita nel nulla, Elara. È stata raccolta.”

Page 3

Una donna dalla pelle blu, con lunghi capelli scuri e una veste bianca, tiene un astuccio di strumenti tra le mani. Dice: «Posso sistemare tutto. Devo farlo. Posso ritessere l'energia dentro di loro.»
